pds 0 #1 October 4, 2003 ok. so i am here in az, 40 miles north of phoenix visiting. i hit the road about 9pm to get my tools for my new job (puters) and to make it to the chickee boogie and take some geritol to the old pharts. i get 80 miles out, buckeye, and stop for gas. realize i left the house keys and have to turn around. drive 80 miles back, get the keys and jump back in the car. as i am getting on the frontage road there is a minivan blocking my way going about 15 mph. whatdafuck? so i pass and find myself behind a dude who can't decide whether he wants to drive on the wrong side of the road or on the dirt the other side of the other side of the road. hmmmmmmm through the dust i see big time sparks as dude flies over the cattletrap at the entrance. curiouser and curiouser. quarter mile after we enter the freeway i decide to pass this freak and as i pull up he swerves and nearly runs me off the fast lane. what do i see? the car is missing the entire quarter panel on driverside, the door is completely smashed and he is driving like a bat out of hell on the bare rim, leaving an inch deep gouge in the roadway. so i slow up and let him get in front and decide to throw the flashers on and follow. dude is travelling between 30mph and 80mph swerving both lanes on a bare rim. bad news. looks like he is running from something to somewhere. a big rig pulls up next to me wondering what i am doing in fast lane doing 35 with my hazards on so i gesture 'get on the radio and be careful, this guy is dangerous'. takes him a few seconds then gets it. blows his horn and blinks his runners at me and we proceed to hang back, matching speeds with this joker and blocking both lanes to keep traffic back. this goes on for about 40 miles at speeds from 30 to 80. dude is all over the road throwing more sparks. an SUV is really pissed and trying to squeeze in to pass so i roll down my window and holler to call DPS we got a problem ahead. he looks at me like im crazy but then dude swerves across both lanes out of control and mr SUV gets the point and backs off. (i dont have cell phone) somewhere between here and there dude's rim disintegrates and litters the road with shrapnel. i hear a thump but everything seems to be ok. we keep trailing dude and it is getting worse. he is now running at 70 on the brake rotor. the swerves are now quick and irratic, no way i am letting anyone pass and get near this guy. welp, we are able to control the sitchuation all the way down to where the freeway (17) opens up to 3+ lanes just north of the 101. and then it happens. i hear the slapping then the banging. my rear tire has disintegrated. so i pull over and slap the donut spare on knowing that dude is quasi long gone and liable to kill someone with that car. my plan is to exit and call dps. whatever he hit is 40 miles north and needing resolution and whatever he is going to plow into isnt gong to see it coming. then i see the gouge in the freeway. is now a single rut , deep and getting wider. dude is grinding away his axle now and still going. i follow it off at cactus to the chevron and DPS has the car surrounded. apparently somebody caught the action just as i lost dude and got off the freeway to call DPS. while he is on the phone with the popo this freak grinds his way into the same chevron. how convenient. boy were they suprised when i told em my side of the story. i dont usually get in peoples shit, but this guy was dangerous and needs to be locked up. did the right thing and got another flat tire for my efforts. the worst part is that the cops sed dude is only going to get a DUI as they have no reports of anything being smashed up north. 4 full beers and 8 empties in the floorboard. sum sheeple need to be culled from the herd IMHO, if only temporarily. so i have to turn around and go back AGAIN, cuz i am now on a donut spare and have to wait for the sun to get a new tire. sorry wendy, no can taxi you 2morrow morning. (this morning?) see you guys saturday night. i hope the ladies in elsinore will survive that long without me. just had to share.namaste, motherfucker.
